New York Times bestselling author of business books and the originator of Profit First, Mike Michalowicz, is set to be the featured speaker at Human by Design in Chesterfield, Missouri.
A total of 22 experts and 75 business leaders are brought together by Sandy Wardenburg Waggett for practical AI strategy, profitable growth, and human-centered leadership.
“AI is not the disruption. Unarchitected leadership is.”— Sandy Wardenburg WaggettCHESTERFIELD, MO, UNITED STATES, August 28, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — The New York Times bestselling business author and creator of Profit First, Mike Michalowicz, will serve as the headline speaker for Human by Design — Thrive in the Age of AI, an immersive conference centered on AI, business, and leadership hosted by T.H.E. Impact Network from October 1–3, 2026, in Chesterfield, Missouri.
Sandy Wardenburg Waggett, who owns MSW Interactive Designs and Infinite Yous, serves as the host for Human by Design, which also marks the 67th Annual Eagle Summit. Attendance is deliberately capped at 75 founders, CEOs, senior leaders, and leadership-team members, and the program will feature 22 speakers from various regions across the country.
Instead of putting short-lived AI tools at the center of the agenda, the event emphasizes the leadership framework necessary for using AI responsibly and productively. Attendees will work toward developing a customized AI integration strategy for their businesses, along with a digital-clone blueprint that includes their voice, video presence, and knowledge.
Michalowicz is scheduled to deliver the main keynote on Friday, October 2. His body of work includes Profit First, Clockwork, The Pumpkin Plan, Fix This Next, Get Different, All In, and the 2026 title The Money Habit. The Profit First cash-flow system he created has enabled more than one million business owners to transition from merely surviving to achieving consistent profitability.
A distinctive link exists between the host and the headliner for this event. Using the Architected Leader framework, Waggett’s team built Michalowicz’s “Digital Mind,” a closed-loop AI ecosystem grounded in his voice, his complete body of work, strategic frameworks, and decision-making logic. The effort extended to autonomous agents, an author dashboard, licensing support, and keynote prospecting.
“AI is not the disruption. Unarchitected leadership is,” Waggett remarked when describing the initiative. “With Mike Michalowicz, we proved that you don’t just have to scale your workforce—you can actually scale your judgment.”
Human by Design expands that concept into a broader working event designed for leaders. Featured experts cover operational scaling, AI governance, executive communication, profitability, resilience, well-being, and human-centered leadership. The schedule also includes a welcome reception, hands-on AI sessions, meals, live entertainment, and an optional firewalk experience. Rather than leaving immediately after their talks, speakers are planned to stay with attendees throughout the entire event.
Human by Design kicks off Thursday evening, October 1, with a welcome reception. The main program runs on October 2–3 at the Undivided Experience Center, located at 657 Spirit Airpark West, Suite 102, Chesterfield, Missouri 63005.
